Abstract

Range search indexing is the problem of storing a set of data points on disk such that the points in a axis-parallel (hyper-) query rectangle can be found efficiently (with as few disk accesses - or I/Os - as possible). The problem is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in spatial databases. Many indexes have been proposed for the problem and its variants.The R-tree for example can be used to solve the more general version of the problem where the data is rectangles.
